Shin Soo-Choo's OBP has been incorrect for a week, that I know of. It's 30 points too low on his Playerlink.

We don't figure HBP into our OBP calcs. Rarely makes any difference, but for a guy like Choo who has 20 HBPs, it does. -
I've always disagreed with this. Getting HBP CAN be a skill rather than luck. Ask Hunt, Baylor, Biggio, even Utley and ARod.Originally posted by RAY@HQ View Post
Really, not figuring HBP into OBP smacks of, well, laziness, or at least a poor thought process. Sorry, but that's what I think.John

It certainly can be a skill, but not for that many players. Over the past 3.5 years, only 8 MLB batters are averaging more than 10 HBP per season.
That said, I'd prefer HBP to be included in OBP just because that's the way the rest of the world defines the statistic."If you torture data long enough, they will confess." -- Ronald CoaseComment

Yeah, I'm coming around to this point of view too.Originally posted by Michael@HQ View PostComment
